Bug 202742 – sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.23-r3 : unable to compile external kernel modules

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Seblu 2007-12-19 01:38:44 UTC]

When i try to switch to 2.6.23 kernel, i'm unable to compile nvidia-drivers and virtualbox-modules. When i try to install with nvidia website drivers, i have no trouble. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.eselect kernel set 1
2.emerge -v virtualbox-modules
3.emerge -v nvidia-drivers

Actual Results:

If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
you either have configured kernel sources matching your
kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
on your system.

If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
installed on your system. If you specified a separate
output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or
the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this
directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.

Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the
kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify
their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.

portage error log for virtualbox-module compilation

[Comment 3 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2007-12-19 06:00:21 UTC]

You need a *configured* kernel to compile any kernel modules. 

make menuconfig; make modules_prepare

[Comment 4 Seblu 2007-12-19 10:35:37 UTC]

make
make modules_prepare
make modules_install 

this change nothing, the error stay the same.

i'have re-installed my gentoo from scratch and... my compilation of xorg-server (with ndivia-driver) don't fail. Cool !
I run emerge -NDvu world.
After i retry emerge nvidia-drivers and... failed !
same test with virtualbox-modules, same result.

Building error after gentoo clear installation and emerge update

[Comment 8 Seblu 2007-12-19 18:37:23 UTC]

I found the source of my problem.

My umask was set to 077 (for root) and so kernel informations on /usr/src/linux was not completly readable...

This is not really a bug.

Perhaps you should add in the documents that the umask of root must stay 022 to avoir problem when building linux kernel.

Sincerely,

[Comment 9 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2007-12-19 18:41:29 UTC]

Messing w/ default umask is something where you are on your own. :)
